Tracy Chapman Self Titled [LP] 1988 Vintage Folk Rock Vinyl Album 60774-1 Vinyl Condition NM...Looks to have never been played. Great Album! 
The Vinyl is NM condition. Looks to have never been played. It's a beautiful copy! The outer sleeve is in VG condition and this copy comes with the original inner sleeve. Below I have included the grading description I use to assign the grade. This copy may have some or all of the issue within the description. I try to be as thorough as possible but all albums are not play tested unless otherwise noted. All of the grading is done by visual inspection. Please remember that your listening experience will vary tremendously if you use a top notch player versus a budget player.  Also all records should be cleaned prior to use. I want for you to be happy with your purchase so if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to send me a message BEFORE bidding/purchasing. Please ask for any additional photos or questions. Great opportunity to own a vintage record at a bargain price! I do combine shipping! $6.50 for the first album and $2.00 each album purchased after that. If you buy multiple auctions do not pay right away or I will not be able to combine shipping. Please wait for your invoice. Good luck!!
